Again, when he said that he'd like to earn his degree in case he doesn't make it to the next level, you don't hear a lot of prospects of his caliber say that. That stood out to me. If he comes to NU he will have every opportunity to earn his degree and get the support to do so. It seems like he understands the value of an education. Additionally, he doesn't care if he plays in 'the best' conference or the cold weather (even though most of the season is played in mild temps). Like speed said about our fan support, not many are like ours. Sure there are diehard fans of the other schools he's considering, but he'd be more appreciated here at NU.
